Tasmanian Myrtle – small table

May 16, 2015

David (Tue PM TG) –

Here are a few pics of a little table I just finished. It is made from a plank of Tasmanian myrtle, following a design shown in Fine Woodworking as a “One board table”. The biggest challenges were cutting the fake “cabriole” step on the upper legs, and the complex tapering of all the legs which needed a template, band saw, spoke shave and card scrapers. It is finished with Danish oil except for the top which got polyurethane for water resistance.
